Are you doing a contemporary kitchen? Walnut and white cabinetry?Do you have kitchen plans or drawings of what your layout will be? It's nice to get a sense of what the space will look like before making suggestions.

I don't think you need a SS hood to match range. Are you doing a white powder coated custom hood? Do u have a pic of what u have in mind?

My DH made our hood to cover the vent. I painted and we love the look.

you could also cover your hood with the same finish as your countertop in a slim slab , in a modern kitchen a simple rectangular hood box would look amazing covered in marble as an example.

hope that helps .

I don't like SS, but our range and hood are. You can get a design that is as, but with a more vintage/less industrial look. I would not do white. Here's a look at ours:

Not white, but you get the idea. Our hood is by Modern-Aire, by way of eBay.

Very nice 1929Spanish.

HI everyone. I only have very poorly drawn sketches somewhere.

The kitchen won't be modern. I have a love of cottage and farmhouse style homes and interiors. So naturally I live in a boring 60's high ranch.

The cabinets are to be shaker style. The pantry wall would be all white shaker, while the perimeter base cabs would be walnut.

I go back and forth between a subway tile bs w dark grout (mostly because i have a lot left over from my bathroom reno) and back painted glass (white) because I hate cleaning grease out of grout. I realize the back painted glass is modern. I suppose the kitchen style would be best described as modern farmhouse inspired.

Perimeter countertop will most likely be some sort of soapstone looking granite and the island would be cararra marble.

No farmhouse sink as I don't wish to be too literal in my interpretation. The kitchen will be open to the dinning room and living room. Wood floors throughout.

Here a few inspiration pix.

Very nice 1929Spanish. Would you still have gone for that hood if you did not have wall cabs flanking it?

Aktillary - that is one sweet hood!

Leo I've seen hoods like that without cabinets flanking. Mine is going to be similar shape but in wood and I have no uppers on cooktop wall. Only Windows

Design Savy - don't laugh but here is the drawing.

i had a plain chimney style wall hood in mind with a preference for a non cheap white finish.

I think you will be able to pull of this look better with a transitional or a contemporary kitchen.

Did you look at Modernaire? You can get anything you want custom made

I looked at Modernaire. They are very nice, too nice for this house and neighborhood. But wow, there were definitely things I loved on their site.
